It's Christmas Eve. Christmas always gives me the warm feeling. It makes me think about carol singing, christmas songs, and the Jesus's Born in Bethlehem short play that I've watched before. I remember the time when I used to go to the church on christmas eve with my aunty. Having to see everybody nicely dressed up, reached the church on time, prepare for the prayers and celebrations, was indeed a wonderful thing to do on this special day. When the carol started singing the familiar christmas songs, then everybody sang along, the atmosphere was filled with joy. Then everybody shaked each other's hands, wishing "Merry Christmas" with their warmest smiles, that was what made me felt delighted the most.
Whether your christmas is a white one, silent and warm one, or celebrations followed by count down, may it full of joy and wishes.
Wishing everyone a wonderful christmas...

Weather
The weather in Bangkok has got cooler. I can say that everybody is waiting for this time. Every year, around this time in dec, the weather is the best in the year. It was so hot recently, and everyone was wondering why the desired weather isn't here yet. I was thinking that the world weather has changed and then on that morning I felt the familiar cool breeze. Immediately, you will greet the day with a smile. Everyone welcomes this weather after having to sweat a lot under the sun, even the taxi driver was so happy that he kept on saying it is colder now. Hope that it will last until Christmas, then it will be a cool breezy christmas..
Bangkok's yearly best weather has come...

Time
Mtv has been showing an advertisement of David Tao recently, which he expressed what he thinks about time. He said, some people think time as very abstract, whereas he thinks that time has the faces of our youth, and people don't realise what is time until they see the limit of their lifetime.
I never realise time until the time when I started working, travelling around, looking at the reality. Before this, time to me is mostly about waiting and repeating. But it's never like this. The truth is time is never repeating, whereby a second today will never come by, never. If given the chance to turn back time, which part of lifetime would you wish to go back to? If not mistaken, it should be the time when you start to understand, what moment means. The time when you start to feel things, start to realise the never returning of the many things in life.
Sometimes, you think about many things to do in your life. And as time passes by, you realise, more and more IF appears in your mind. If I have had the time, I would have...similar kind of sentences running around in your thoughts. Most of the time, you would say, I don't have enough time that's why I can't do this and that, blaming on the time, thinking that it will stop for you...so that you can stop your grumbling and blaming?
Each passing minute, marks the never returns. Each passing seconds, you can see it as counting down, or accumulating to the minutes of time. Whatever perspective you have on time, always make sure that, you appreciate it, whether is it spending with your family, your friends, your loved ones and doing every little thing. History might repeat itself, but never time. I will keep that in mind always.

Venus
Girls are from Venus, they say. A very far away land that is hard to reach that makes them different and hard to understand. You must have heard so much about guys asking, why can't they be more straight forward? Like us, do what we want to do and say what we want to say. But girls will think that, when everything is expressed straight to the point, some will lost their meanings some way, somehow. So, some say girls are complicated formations, so complicated that they don't bother to understand. While surprisingly some think that knowing them adds up to their knowledge. So, when girls gather up and have some girls talk, thiswill be one of the topic that they will discuss. Why guys don't understand girls?
Sometimes, girls tell you things opposite to what they think. In an argument usually, they would say things opposite to their mind, and yet, they hope that you can see that's not what they actually mean. Hoping that you can figure out yourself. If you can't, then they would get mad which make you wonder why. So, when you are not sure what they really mean, maybe you can find the answer in the tone or the signs they show. With that, maybe you would be able to get the real answer.
Girls are sensitive. Well, I would say most girls are. They can sense small little things, whether you have not been paying attention to what they said or don't mean what you said. Sometimes it affects them so much, what you said. If you were to give them comments, just make sure that correct words are used. Just make sure that you don't hurt their feelings. If you care about them, they will feel it and they will appreciate that, they really do.
Green-eyed monters. Yes, they are, sometimes, especially when you have made such a strong stand in their territory. Of course girls get jealous, sometimes those which you can't understand at any points why they are. One of the reasons, by the time you're watching their territory, they are guarding yours too, thus a little wind blows sometimes can be treated as a, small hurricane.
You may say that girls are like maze, that you keep on looking for the correct path but got it wrong sometimes. When they change mood, or get emotional, don't scratch your head wondering why, as they are full of surprises. Just a change of perspective and a little understanding, will makes things easier. After knowing about the small little information, Venus is not unreachable, right?

La Vie
Short, life is short. That's what many people say. Each day passes by so fast, that you don't even get to realise that it's already one year gone. During high school, spending moments with friends, at one time, hoping that these days will never end while hoping that will get out of school, and start the university life. And then till the end of the university life, have some thoughts over the years-have-been-gone stuffs, it's time for the next stage. What have we got?
When life gets busy, then you tend to forget about realising how fast pace the time goes. And then you stop for a while, then think about, what I have been doing all these while? Did I live my life full? Some people said that, life is never short. If we're going to live till 70, 80 years old, then from where we stand, there are many more years to go, it's actually, not short. Some people, reminding themselves everyday, that they will not waste every minute, as they said, we will never know what if tomorrow never comes? Making sure that they will make their life worth-living. I believe that, most of us will hope that, till the end of our life, we would love to look back, and see a paper full of colours, instead of a white blank paper. It maybe nostalgic, bittersweet, but that's the proof of trails that you have left in this world. Life not to be forgotten, by your children, friends, at least, not by ourselves. Imagining, telling the story of your life, which takes endless days and nights to finish.
Everyone wants to do something with their life. All of us, we live only once in our life. There must be something, which you have been wanting to do. If it is a full long list, congratulations. Make them happen. That's how you make life beautiful. La vie, it may sound so abstract, may sound so wide, but only you yourself get the feel out of your life. Only you yourself, know how you want your life to be. We maybe lost sometimes that we ask, am I living my life as what I want it to be? Identify the essence of your life. Is it your work that excites you? Running your fingers over the piano keyboard that obsess you? Or travelling around the world that fills you up? Don't forget the people around you, which have rooms in your life, as they too, make up your wonderful life. These elements which you can't tear them away, actually complete your life. We're like the artists, painting a canvas of our life. Always feel free to keep on painting, let it goes beyond imagination, who knows what you can paint out on the canvas? Let's hope that everyone will be satisfied with the canvas that we paint, as nobody is going to evaluate our fine piece of art, as nobody understands more than we do, on how each strokes complete the art.
Live life to the fullest.

Moments
Along the path we walk, there are so many moments, that we have been through. Moment lingers and gone, we are the human who are vulnerable to request for those moments to stay forever, but enchanted with those special magical moments, which are sprinkled as stardust into our memories. If it is the "moments" of your life, it will stay as an unremovable mark, which never fade away. Special moments are like unedited short videos, a sudden thought may remind you of it, then you start to rewind your memories, again and again, reminiscing the happiness, having a taste of your moments. Some of them maybe vaguely projected, but all you know is, that's what you have been through, at that time, you were indeed having the time of your life, enjoying each and every bit of it.
Moments don't stay, don't remain where they are. Unlike the wall that we lean on, the ground that we stand on. They are like the clouds in the sky, ever-changing shape, at this moment, it resembles the bird, and the next minute, you can never find the same bird shape clouds again. Human likes things they can hold, touch and see. Cameras came in to turn abstract moments into physical piece of paper. A piece of paper which worth so much, that it brings the smile to everyone's face. It is wonderful that in that piece of paper, it's moment that they have captured.
Earth never stop turning that makes beautiful moments so precious. It's the feeling of helplessness when you realise that's the moment of your life that is slipping away, that you try to feel each and every bit of it, making sure that you really have appreciated it till the time when it is gone. Sudden silly thoughts of wishing time will stop, thinking of how nice it will be to be able to stay like this forever...
Flipping through the albums of memories, proud moments, exciting moments, adventurous moments, name it..I guess, you must have had it all. Moments are great, when they are shared. They reminded you of the laughter of your loved ones, how they enjoyed it having your accompany and the magical bonding that is created among you when each of you talk about it. Moments may make you long for more, or they may teach you how to appreciate. Whatever it does, it surely touches your heart and soul that makes you keep it. It is the appreciation that is meaningful; it is having the time of your life that matters. Breathe each moments so that you will remember it for the rest of your life, embrace it so that you will show not only the pictures, but the excitement and wonders of that lie beneath. Let's cherish the moments...

Moon
In which ever way you look at the moon, it is always beautiful. The way it shines, the way it stands out from the dark background, magnificient, I would say. Moon touches the soul. You may get stoned, looking at the details; or get so obsessed by its beauty that you stare. It is amazing how it carries so many people away that people wrote poems expressing their feelings, that somebody wrote the song "Fly me to the moon" to express his love. And even, became the first man to fly to the moon. It became the untouchable or the unreachable that remained so mysterious in our heart, with so many spaces of imagination, beliefs and thoughts.
Full moon is astounding. Let it be hanging over the dark sky above the quiet sea, let it be hanging over the dark sky above the paddy fields, where the horizon defines it's existence. If it happens to be you, who's in one of the pictures, take your time, gaze upon the sky, feel the moonlight brushes your skin, then you'll know that it not only shines, it also whispers. Listen, when your heart starts to play the music. Listen, when it asks you to free your mind and let your feelings flow. Make sure that you will remember the wonders that it had had on you.
How I hate to relate the moon phases to the come and go of people in our lives and how I hate to relate it to the imperfections in this world, even though we have to accept that, that's life. I would choose to express its beauty, imagine all the goods, commented that it's one of the perfect glow in the dark paintings in this universe. It carried me away, when looking at it, beautifully posed in the picture marked "taken at the night of Valentine's Day". I'm sure it must have casted a spell that the picture is taken. A three dimension moon in the picture. Remarkably amazed, I am.
